Jaimee was our doula for the birth of our first child, Mabel. We actually had another doula lined up to help on the big day, but she had another birth that day and Jaimee had to step in with little notice. And I have to say, the minute she walked in to our delivery room, she was a very special, loved member of the team. We've texted and called her several times since the birth of our baby girl, since she feels like part of our family after even a few hours with us.
My wife and I were going for a natural childbirth, and needed the support of someone as talented and loving as Jaimee was for us. When Jaimee walked in the door, my wife was just beginning active labor and needed an expert. Jaimee was just that - she knew just how to help my wife with positions, massages, water therapy, etc. She made us feel very much at ease. And during that phase, she made sure to involve me, intentionally making sure I was a meaningful part of the experience. I'll never forget that. She clearly has the tools to 'take over', but made sure to advise me, so I could be deeply involved.
I could go through each of the tangible things Jaimee did while my wife was in labor, but it's the intangibles that I'll always remember. I'm not sure how she's able to bring so much passion and caring to people she just met, but she has the ability to help on an emotional level that's difficult to describe. Once you meet Jaimee, you'll immediately see her passion for helping families with one of the biggest moments of their lives. She is truly one of a kind and we'll always be grateful.
If another little one is in the future for my wife and me, we will reach out first to Jaimee to see if she can help us through the process. Jaimee is one of a kind and we'll always hold her in our hearts.
